    So very sorry to hear of Your loss, we met Rex Wendy and Maxine several times , last time at Dads wake in Carbonear , Noel’s Funeral home. Dad always spoke highly of you all , and would have been so proud that you made that trip to his wake. Especially Wendy. Janes family became a big part of Dads life and he treasured the time with them all , seemed he had a special word for Rex all the time. The special memories your family has of the four of you together will be in your hearts forever. We never got to meet Raymond, but Dad had nothing but good to speak of him , so I’m sure you are a wonderful son. Rest In Peace Rex , have a beer with Dad soon on the other side. God speed!!

    Hi Maxine, I knew Rex many years ago. In fact Rex, Bern, Gord Newhook and myself shared an eventful winter trip driving from Toronto in the early 70's. He was a great guy and I know he will be truly missed.
